My name is Dario Cecchini

I’ve been a butcherfor eight generations, father to son.I try to maintain the high values of my workand my family’s traditions.I always say that a man is like a tree:he must have his feet, his roots, planted firmly in the earth,traditions; and his head, the crown of the tree, must be in the sky,in the contemporary world.Having respect of the animal, of it’s life, of it’s death,and using everything to the very last tendon with conscience iswhat I have been doing every day for the past 40 years.This is me: my name is Dario Cecchiniand I’m a butcher from head to tail.My beef and my pork aren’t of any specific breedand they are raised in Catalonia, Spain, by peoplethat I have known for over 20 years and that I trust deeply.Sometimes the beef might be of the Chianina breedand it comes from the Manetti family inthe splendid Fontodi farm in Panzano in Chianti.
